Bayonet practice is military training in the use of the bayonet—the blade attached to a rifle's muzzle for close combat.
Soldiers thrust at dummies or practice coordinated movements.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for aggressive preparation or confrontational drills: The debate team's sessions felt more like bayonet practice than intellectual exercise.
